Hi friends,

My extended deadline is approaching, but I got no information about FBI clearence report yet. I could not send email to fbi in Liaison @ leo.gov. always retured back immidately. Is this the right email id? whenever I made call, I could not get through. always waiting like half an hour and no information. I am tired and frustrated waiting fbi clearence.

is there any incident that if somebody failed to submit fbi report on given deadline, do they cancelled or dismissed the application process. Is there any possiblity to withdraw the application in last stage, I mean after sending medical and all asked documents except fbi?

pls help me. :(

Dear Kathmandu1

You can do one thing in this case. You can put the communication that you have done with fbi in your file and write one covering letter explaining what is actually happening to your FBI report. With this I think they will wait for the FBI report. If this is not possible then ask for the extension of the time writing the reason for the delay in getting FBI reports. This will give you more time to collect the FBI report.

cheers

Hi, Rupeshhari,


Thanks for reply. It was december 24th, 2009. Well, I would like to share my background information also. CHC asked me to send FBI report in 1st week of November, but I have never lived in USA more than 6 month each time. I lived in USA first around 5 months, just finished two parts of my short course exam and back to country, again afetr 4 months back to usa for later 2 parts and stayed again nearly 5 months. after finishing my exams i retured back to county because I was in B1/B2 visa status. when i read canadian immigaration form requirements i understood that person has to submit police clearence cretificate if he or she lived in that location more than 6 months.

Then, i sent email to CHC explaining this issue and requesting to verify from my travel history and passport copies as well because i was sure that it was mistake. In december 17th , I received email from CHC that i lived in USA cummulative six months, so i need to submit report. They gava me 45 days deadline and mentioned no more extension granted.

I applied to fbi, mentioning priority date 10th of January, 2010 in coverpage and in outside envelop. In 15th of january i made call to fbi. their response was so scary, they have not log my application into process yet and it takes 8 to 10 weeks when they put into the process. AHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!its seems like impossible to make through on time. I have no idea what will happen to my application. GIve me idea pls. is it possible to with draw the application?

:(

i think it takes 2 to 3 weeks if they are no buys to get it in the US. Being in Nepal will definitely take longer.

Do what lifeincanada says.

SCAN the receipt of your package to FBI and send it to CHC to show that you complied with their request to get FBI clearance within their deadline. then they will understand that the delay is not your fault but FBI's because FBI has been experiencing backlogs in processing requests.

My application reached FBI on Nov 23rd 2009 and they do not have my file on their system yet.

here is a short summary of my communication with FBI.

On jan 6th (7th week of processing) i got an e-mail response for my status request stating that it takes 8-10 weeks for processing

On jan 19th (9th week of processing) i got an e-mail response for my status request stating that it takes 10 weeks for processing

On Jan 27th (10th week of processing) i got an e-mail response for my status request stating that it takes 10-12 weeks for processing.

I copy pasted all their e-mails letting them know how it is affecting my situation and i got a 1 line response 5 mins ago stating..." we are sorry...there is nothing we can do about it"

I am beyond frustrated...i just hope that all other forum members who are in the initial stages of their Canadian PR and need an FBI PCC read my post and other threads related to FBI PCC apply well in advance so that they do not have to go through the misery I am going through.

Ok...donno what exactly happened...i had someone from FBI call me just now and he mentioned that my case is being processed and should be finalized within a week...wonder if my last e-mail had anything to do with it....

One thing for sure...the Customer service guys at FBI have no clue abt which cases are being processed...just 15 mins ago i had and e-mail from stating that my case was waiting to be processed and not in the database.

Correct me if I am wrong...all i recd was an AOR and medical request. I have not recd a PCc request yet...although i am fully aware that I need to sumbit PCC's.

Per my lawyer, for CSQ applicants applying from canada, it is ok to send PCC and RPRF a month after you receive AOR and then if you are lucky in a few days you get the request for the passport.

Cannot wait for that day 8)

I am not sure. I only know FSW under the new rules. Hopefully someone will reply, else you can ask PMM, he probably will know.

Hi, Would like to ask what e-mail I may send the inquiry for a progress update. I tried "do@leo.gov", as their website indicated, but it always bounce back.

Thanks
